Chapter 922: Oil Storm
"Don't believe me? Hehe...... How do you explain these photos in front of you? These growing lush vegetation can't be fake, right? Du Ziji asked with a cross-lip. The Minister of Lands frowned, shook his head, and said, "This...... I can't explain it! Du Ziji said: "China is an ancient civilization, with thousands of years of culture and wisdom, they are mysterious and intelligent, I will not be surprised by what they do." Gentlemen, I think you know what this technology means to us, right? Du Ziji's words once again caused a lot of discussion in the conference room.
Saudi Arabia, the country is just like its name, and sand always comes first. Ninety-eight percent of the country's land area is covered by desert, and Saudis have been fighting against deserts since the day they were born. Turning the yellow sand into green grass is the dream of many Saudis. However, the cruel reality has made the dream of the Saudis can only be stranded again and again. If there is anyone in the world who is most eager for the desert to be governed, it must be the Saudis.
Excitement permeated the entire conference room, people's faces were full of excitement, and their eyes flashed like hungry wolves that had seen meat. Du Ziji slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Yes, no matter what method is used, at any cost, we must also get this magical technology from the hands of the Chinese people!" For the sake of our people, for our children and grandchildren to no longer be plagued by the desert, it is up to us! From now on, I want you to contact the Huaxia government in any possible way, to show favor to them, to gain their favor, and to gain the initiative for us to start technical negotiations with them in the future, is that clear? ”
Everyone present knew the importance of desert management technology to the entire Saudi country, and nodded solemnly. The Foreign Minister said, "Mr. President." At present, some countries in the Middle East are suffering from the powerful impact of high-quality and low-cost Chinese goods, and we in Saudi Arabia are no exception. Some countries are ready to join forces and set up tariff barriers to curb Chinese goods. They also sent us an invitation and wanted us to be a part of it, ...... you look?" Does this need to be asked? Not only will we not be able to participate in this, but from today onwards, we will have to relax our trade policy on Chinese goods, give us the most favored nation treatment, and completely open our country to the Chinese people. For the sake of valuable desert management technology. The little loss in front of you is not worth mentioning. In addition, if you make an appointment with the Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia for me, you will say that I will invite him to dinner. ”
"But Mr. President. According to your schedule, it is the Ambassador of Country M that you want to meet tonight......" said the Foreign Minister with a frown, a little embarrassed. Before he could finish speaking, Du Ziji interrupted him and said, "Stupid, at this time, the Huaxia ambassador is ten thousand times more honorable than the ambassador of country M. Let's just say I don't have time. Rescheduled! The Foreign Secretary nodded. I turned around and went out to prepare. Du Ziji turned his head to look at the Minister of Finance and said, "I said that there was an earthquake in the south of Huaxia, and the situation was very serious. You raise $10 billion in cash right away. 10 billion US dollars of disaster relief materials will be shipped to China. Let the Chinese people feel that we are their friends. Do you understand? The Chancellor of the Exchequer turned away as well.
"Minister of Revenue!" Du Ziji turned his gaze to a slightly chubby Saudi official and asked, "How many Chinese businessmen are currently doing business in our Saudi Arabia?" The Minister of Taxation pondered for a while and said, "About 300,000 people." "Okay, when you go back, make a detailed list, and make sure to register every Chinese merchant. From today. They are treated the same as our own businessmen...... No, give them another 10 percent tax cut. Listening to Du Ziji's words, the Minister of Taxation looked a little embarrassed, and said faintly: "Mr. President, will this be unfair to our own businessmen?" Du Ziji snorted: "What is fair or unfair, the interests of the country are higher than a qiē, if anyone thinks it is unfair, let him come and tell me, I will talk to him personally!" ”
After arranging the arrangement, Du Ziji looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Where is my oil minister, Baraku?" Why didn't I see him at my cabinet meeting? "Oh, the president is like this, Balaku is now meeting with a very important Chinese guest, so ......" The Minister of Taxation, who was a good friend of Barakul, hurriedly replied when he saw Du Ziji ask. Ever since Du Ziji learned that the Huaxia people have the desert management technology he dreamed of, he has developed an inexplicable affection and affection for the word Huaxia. Originally, he was still dissatisfied with Baraku's absence, but when he heard that Baraku was meeting with Chinese guests, he was immediately full of joy, and his original dissatisfaction disappeared, and he laughed and said: "Okay, my oil minister can always go first." Hehe...... Wait until he finishes meeting the Chinese guests, and then let him come to see me! ”
While Du Ziji was busy arranging how to please the Chinese people, Baraku was having a meeting with Lightning. He was accompanied by Ambassador Shen Zhenxin, the Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Baraku is in his early sixties and has an Einstein hairstyle, but he is much more muscular than Einstein. The slightly surrounding face is always flushed like wine, with a high nose and deep-set eye sockets, with a standard Western face. Being able to hold an important position in an organization like OPEC, which holds huge interests, is enough to show that his shrewdness and sagacity are like the glittering light in his eyes, dazzling and compelling. However, the fly in the ointment was the trace of arrogance hidden between his eyebrows, which made Lightning somewhat unhappy.
Compared with Baraku, in Lightning's heart, Shen Zhenxin is much more amiable, of course, this does not exclude the relationship between compatriots. Shen Zhenxin is in his fifties, his face is kind, his mood is serene, and his eyes always radiate a soft light, revealing his amazing personality charm. Shen Zhenxin is gentle and fair, and not only has a high prestige among the staff of the Chinese Embassy, but also has a good reputation among local officials in Saudi Arabia. At this time, Shen Zhenxin was staring at the lightning with a curious gaze, quietly listening to his conversation with Baraku.
Shen Zhenxin didn't know Lightning, let alone that he was the leader of the Heavenly Thorns that shocked the entire Middle East Peninsula. The reason why he introduced the accompanying lightning to see Baraku was because of Zhu Mingyan. In the war-torn Middle East, and holding the same position, the two naturally had a lot to talk about, and over time they became old friends. Shen Zhenxin still remembers the solemnity when Zhu Mingyan introduced lightning to him. This made Shen Zhenxin feel that Lightning was definitely not an ordinary person, and after meeting, he realized this more and more clearly in the moment of a glance. The amazing temperament radiating from the lightning made Shen Zhenxin, who was used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries, secretly taken aback.
Now hearing the conversation between Lightning and Baraku, Shen Zhenxin was even more surprised. What is the difference between Lightning's vain attempt to get Saudi Arabia, which dominates OPEC, to share a part of its interests with him? Seeing Lightning talking to Baraku with a tough attitude, not understanding that he was now in the position of a beggar, Shen Zhenxin sighed secretly in his heart, he already knew the final result of the negotiation.
Because China's policy is to take peaceful development as the core, not to expand or invade, and its foreign policy is very moderate and not offensive at all, the status of country M in the Middle East has always been higher than that of China. Especially Saudi Arabia, because the Western world is a big oil consuming country, is its big customer, and the status of the people of country M is even higher than that of the Chinese. For this, Shen Zhenxin has a deep understanding. is also an ambassador of a country, Shen Zhenxin wants to see Du Ziji, and the cumbersome procedures he needs to go through make him have to make an appointment a month in advance, but the ambassador of country M wants to see Du Ziji, it is only a matter of phone call. Shen Zhenxin appealed to the Saudi government more than once for this matter, but the result was always to no avail.
Sure enough, before the lightning could finish speaking, Baraku took the case and said angrily: "OPEC has no extra share to allocate to you, you can figure it out yourself!" I still have something to deal with, so I'm out of company! Seeing Baraku turn around to leave without manners, Lightning's brow couldn't help but furrow. In the Middle East, this acre and three points of land, Tianthorn is a well-deserved upstart. Kuwait, Iraq, and even Israel all stabbed the sky and treated him like a guest, when did he receive such treatment, and his heart suddenly held back a fire.
"Mr. Baraku!" Lightning shouted. Baraku turned around impatiently and said angrily, "Didn't I say it clearly enough? If Huaxia Petroleum wants to enter the international market, we can only fight a bloody way by ourselves, and we can't do anything! The corners of Lightning's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "Of course you can!" But in this way, the blood that stains the road of Huaxia Petroleum into the international market will be yours. Baraku smiled coldly and said, "Oh? Hum...... You're overconfident. OPEC is not to be messed with! ”
"OPEC is not easy to mess with, but not necessarily no one can afford to mess with it! I don't believe that the OPEC you rely on is a monolith, and even if it is a monolith, I can break it to pieces! Lightning eyebrows shouted angrily.
"Arrogance! What an arrogant Chinese! If this is your challenge to OPEC, then I accept it, and now please get out! Baraku roared furiously. Mr. Baraku ......" Shen Zhenxin stood up and wanted to reconcile the conflict between the two, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was pushed back by Baraku's roar, "Mr. Shen, I still treat you as a friend, but you have brought me such an arrogant and self-defeating Chinese man who does not know the depths, please go out now!" Shen Zhenxin shook his head and sighed, didn't speak, turned around and walked out. Lightning glared at Baraku fiercely, and then followed.
Walking out of Baraku's house, Lightning said to Shen Zhenxin with some guilt: "Mr. Ambassador, this time it really hurts you!" Shen Zhenxin smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing, the weather in Saudi Arabia is hot and dry, and people's tempers are not very good, I'm used to it!" But now that you have completely offended Baraku, I am afraid that your purpose will not be achieved. Lightning snorted coldly and said, "This is what we expected, if Baraku agrees, then I am strange!" Rest assured, there is no door in this world that I can't knock on with lightning! Lightning's words were full of confidence, and his body was full of vigorous fighting spirit, which made Shen Zhenxin look a little distracted. (To be continued.) (。 ))
